Casey Anthony indicted for murder
Bad news for Casey Anthony — a grand jury indicted her today in the murder of her daughter, Caylee, along with other charges.
A grand jury indicted Casey Anthony on charges of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter and four counts of lying to investigators about the disappearance of her daughter, Caylee, State Attorney Lawson Lamar said. The mother is being held without bond.
If convicted of first-degree murder she could face the death penalty or life in prison. Prosecutors said no decision has been made on whether the death penalty will be sought.
Orange County Sheriff Kevin Beary said investigators’ satisfaction that the indictment had been issued was tempered by what it concludes about the girl’s fate.
“Speaking as a father, a day doesn’t pass where I wish the evidence that we have gathered didn’t add up to the painfully obvious,” he said. “Sadly, I cannot change the facts surrounding the investigation.”
